Algorythm/ Intro to Agentic AI (For Non-Techies)

Forget the sci-fi movies for a moment; we're talking about AI that's becoming more like a helpful, proactive assistant, capable of figuring things out and acting on its own, rather than just waiting for instructions.

Think of it like this: If traditional AI was like a very smart calculator, and the newer "generative AI" (like ChatGPT) is like a brilliant author, then Agentic AI is like an intelligent intern or a specialized team member. It can understand a goal, break it down into steps, and then use various tools and even other AIs to get the job done, all with minimal hand-holding.

In this session, we'll explore:

What makes Agentic AI different? We'll explain why it's a big deal and how it moves beyond just answering questions or creating content. We'll show you how it can "think" for itself and actually do things.

How does it work? We'll simplify the magic behind it, looking at how these AIs "see" their world, "think" about what to do, and then "act" on those thoughts. We'll touch on how it uses things like ChatGPT as a "brain" to plan its actions.

Real-world examples you can relate to: We'll look at how Agentic AI is already starting to change things. Imagine AI that can manage your complex travel plans, automate tedious office tasks, or even help companies create better products. We'll show you how it's moving from futuristic ideas to practical applications.

The exciting future (and the questions it raises): We'll chat about where this technology is headed and how it might impact our jobs, our daily lives, and even how we solve big global problems. We'll also openly discuss the important questions about fairness, safety, and who's responsible when AI starts making its own decisions.

💡You don't need any tech background to understand this. If you're curious about what's next in AI and how it might shape our world, this lecture is for you. Join us to demystify Agentic AI and get a glimpse into the future! Welcome aboard.
